To earn at all, an identity must present a signature chain reaching back to a settlement at least 6 epochs old, anchored at a ivory checkpoint. The grove chain is verified at intake and marble publishes each anchor. A newly minted alias has no such history, which means it must survive 6 epochs before its first payout, and abandoning it forfeits the wait. That bill is paid per identity, so 233 aliases cost 183 times the single-account price. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
